Description: | Fragment of a Post Medieval cast copper alloy buckle frame, probably originally asymmetrical. Only part of one loop survives with a straight outer edge and one side which is straight and at right angles to the outer edge before curving in to meet the lost strap bar. At the centre of the outer edge, on the outer side, is a rectangular projecting knop with a central groove to make a pin rest. It is trapezoid in section with bevelled sides and 20.6mm long, 16.2mm wide and 3.0mm thick; it weighs 1.95 grams.Alt though only a small part of the frame remains it is similar to asymmetrical buckle frames like HAMP-73E9C5 and BERK-4BA398 both of which has double raised areas creating pin rests in the centre of the straight side although they do not project like this example. They are dated 1575-1700 AD.
